Abstract

Disclosed is a system for transmitting dynamic data over a network to a computer resource, the system including at least one receiver configured to receive dynamic data and convert dynamic data into a digitized sinusoidal signal, and a computing resource configured for communication with the network and configured to receive the digitized sinusoidal signal from the at least one receiver, the computing resource configured to employ a Fast Fourier Transform to convert the digitized sinusoidal signal into output data that includes phase data, amplitude data, and frequency data of the digitized sinusoidal signal, the output data being transmittable over the network in at least one packet.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1. A system for transmitting dynamic data over a network to a remote computer resource, the system comprising:

 a computing resource configured for communication with the network and configured to receive said digitized signal from said at least one receiver, said computing resource configured to employ a Fast Fourier Transform to convert said digitized signal into output data that includes phase data, amplitude data, and frequency data of said digitized signal, said output data being transmittable over the network in at least one packet; and 
 a data packing and compression resource configured for communication with said computing resource, said data packing and compression resource condensing said output data and providing a complete representation of said output data. 
 
   
   
     2. The system according to  claim 1 , further comprising a server configured for communication with said computing resource, said packing and compression resource, and the network. 
   
   
     3. The system according to  claim 2 , wherein said output data is storable in said server, and unit convertible from one engineering unit to another in said server. 
   
   
     4. The system according to  claim 1 , wherein said dynamic data is analog data. 
   
   
     5. The system according to  claim 1 , wherein said at least one packet is multiple packets including said phase data, said frequency data, and said amplitude data. 
   
   
     6. The system according to  claim 1 , wherein said at least one packet is one packet including said phase data, said frequency data, and said amplitude data. 
   
   
     7. The system according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one source is positioned to sense operating conditions of at least one machine, and configured to acquire said dynamic data, and transmit said dynamic data to said at least one receiver. 
   
   
     8. The system according to  claim 7 , wherein said at least one source comprises at least one of a sensor and a transducer. 
   
   
     9. The system according to  claim 1 , wherein the remote computer resource is configured to employ a second Fast Fourier Transform that converts said output data received from said computing resource into at least one of said digitized signal and said dynamic data. 
   
   
     10. The system according to  claim 1 , wherein said at least one receiver is an analog-digital converter. 
   
   
     11. The system according to  claim 1 , wherein said data packing and compression resource provides a data size reduction of at least 1/300. 
   
   
     12. A method for transmitting dynamic data over a network to a computer resource, the method comprising:
